Joe Klein has been banned from the McCain and Palin campaign planes.
Joe Klein of Time criticized the campaign over the “kindergarten sex” ad and asked McCain a question that pointed out that Ahmadinejad doesn’t control the Iranian military. Now Klein can’t get a seat on either the McCain or the Palin campaign plane.
